This I Love Cats Demitasse Earring starts with a vintage demitasse spoon bowl. You have a choice of leaving the demitasse spoon in it's original configuration, or flattening and if you like, add a hammered texture to the flattened spoon. From there, choose your ear attachment type and material. Then scroll to the bottom and select your choice of I Love Cats and Love charms and beads and if you like, Vintage Silverware Components to match your I Love Cats necklace or bracelet.
Please keep the following in mind when you choose your preferred finish.
The original finish will be the a silvery finish with no patina. It may include areas of minor wear that show the underlying material (e.g.copper).
The Patina finish is a chemical process that creates a typically darker antiqued finish. The advantage of a patina finish is that it fills in the area around the design while leaving the rest of the bracelet shiny, which shows off the design.
